Pro Tip: Fishing The Trees

Nuts & Bolts of Fishing

Carbon Score: 8.4

As the sun gets higher in the sky, many gamefish will go deep to darker and cooler water. They will also look for structure or cover that might protect them from predators, and also be a likely spot to find forage fish doing the same thing. With good electronics, like the Simrad EVO3, you can actually see the fish that are hanging close to structure like treetops. The problem is not so much catching them, but rather getting them out of the tangling mess once hooked up. Capt. Cefus McRae shares this Pro Tip on how to coax big fish out of the treetops and get them into the boat.
